When this snowfall fell it came with an electric storm. Never before have I heard of snow falling, lightening flashing and thunder crashing all at the same time. It was a bit scarey, especially the lightening which was very...

I sat down for a brief rest and a quick cup of tea after lunch today and cast my eye around the room, noting all the jobs waiting for my attention:

My daughter was telling me about Wordle recently and then I saw a discussion here about it, so curiosity got the better of me and today I took a look.

I like to hear a good joke and once in a while I might even tell one. However being a listener is different to being a teller. I find it embarrassing if someone tells a joke that I do not find funny because I am no good at a...

Somewhere tucked in the back of a drawer I have a few handkerchiefs. I can't remember the last time I used one because in another drawer, where they are very accessible, I have a box of tissues.
There was a time when a pretty...

Have you ever been haunted by a song, one that you find yourself singing on and off all day long? It is pleasant at first but eventually all the pleasure is lost because it is impossible to stop singing it.
The song which has...

When I was a teenager one of the girls in my class called me 'Spotty Face'. It was probably true that I had a few teenage spots at that time because I flinched and she noticed this and said 'The truth hurts'.
Since then I have...

I can't remember when Teddy arrived in my bed, or maybe even my cot. I was too young. He had belonged to a boy before he was given to me. His family had decided that the comfort of a teddy bear was no longer necessary for a...
